Abnormal object found while menstrating?

07-13-2017, 02:06 PM

Hey there,
I'm kinda new at this and I hope I'm doing everything right and I hope I get some sort of advice. I also hope this isn't too gross? I've been to my local planned parenthood (about a month ago) and just started taking birth control for the first time ever (I'm 17 years old, female, and I've only been sexually active since mid April) I was prescribed Aubra and I have taken every pill on time to this day. This week I started my sugar pills and I am having my period but it's a bit heavy and I'm concerned. Isn't birth control supposed to make it lighter? I also experienced something rather scary (at least to me) the first day I got my period. (I'm sorry if this is gross but I'm sure you've heard and seen worse ) I went to the bathroom as soon as I woke up since I could feel I had gotten my period during the night. I looked down in my underwear and saw some blood and something odd. It was a grey blob covered in blood about 3 inches in length. It seemed rather fleshy and organ-like which, of course, freaked me out since I've never had anything like that ever happen to me. I quickly cleaned myself up and felt myself getting light headed and had to lay on the bathroom floor for a bit to recollect myself. I have no idea what that was. The night before I had some cramping (which isn't abnormal for me) but I still have no idea what that was. I hope someone can provide me with some answers. Is it an odd side effect? A piece of my uterus wall? Or something more serious? Thank you

There often is a buildup of mucus that is expelled along with the menstrual blood. If you were sexually active just prior to your period it also could contain old semen as well. I really wouldn't worry about it, I believe it's quite normal. Some months you may notice more or less of this.

That which we forget may as well never really happened.

Claret It seemed more organ or flesh like than mucous in my opinion. I have also never had sex without using a condom so left over semen doesn't seem like the case. I haven't had any other scares since the day the object came out and I'm just bleeding regularly now but I still haven't found any answers

Is it possible that you had a miscarriage? Were you tested for pregnancy when you were started on birth control? Still, pregnancy testing is not 100% nor are birth control methods 100%.

Apart from the colour, it sounds very like a blood clot to me. Perhaps some mucus happened to get stuck together with a clot and form that. It's been known to happen, & they sort of solidify a little so they look more rubbery and fleshy than one might expect mucus to look.
